DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Some implementations described herein provide a rolling tray for rollingsmokeable items. The rolling tray may include a tray portion, a set ofcontainer compartments, and a lid portion. The lid portion is configuredto sealingly engage with the tray portion to prevent the spilling ofsmokeable ingredients associated with smokeable items, and seal in anaroma associated with the smokeable ingredients.

In this way, some implementations herein provide an improved rollingtray that includes compartments into which smokeable ingredients and/orother items may be stored, and that includes a sealable lid thatconfines and/or mitigates the aroma associated with smokeableingredients.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rolling tray 100 may include a sealable lid 101,and a tray portion 102. The rolling tray 100 may be configured to permitassembly of a smokeable item. For example, a user may utilize therolling tray 100 to assemble a smokeable item, such as a cigar,cigarette, and/or the like.

The tray portion 102 may include a component of the rolling tray 100that is configured to permit the assembly of smokeable items, and/orthat is configured to permit the storage of smokeable items, assembledsmokeable items, and/or other items. The tray portion 102 may becomprised of any suitable material, such as a plastic, aluminum,titanium, steel, graphite, and/or the like. Further, the tray portion102 may include any suitable shape, such as a rectangular shape, asquare shape, an oval shape, a circular shape, a geometric shape, and/orthe like. Further still, the tray portion 102 may include any suitabledimensions to permit the assembly of smokeable items.

The sealable lid 101 may include a component that is configured tosealably attach to the tray portion 102. For example, the sealable lid101 may be separably attached to the tray portion 102, and may seal thetray portion 102 based on being attached to the tray portion 102. Thesealable lid 101 may be comprised of any suitable material that permitsthe sealable lid 101 to sealingly engage with the tray portion 102. Insome implementations, the sealable lid 101 may be comprised of a samematerial as the tray portion 102. Alternatively, the sealable lid 101may be comprised of a different material than as compared to the trayportion 102. The sealable lid 101 may include any suitable dimensions topermit the sealable lid 101 to sealingly engage with the tray portion102.

Although FIG. 1 depicts a single sealable lid 101, other embodimentsinclude additional sealable lids 101. For example, the rolling tray 100may include two sealable lids 101, three sealable lids 101, etc. In someimplementations, different sealable lids 101 of the rolling tray 100 mayinclude substantially similar dimensions. For example, a first sealablelid 101 may cover substantially a first half of the tray portion 102,and a second sealable lid 101 may cover substantially a second half ofthe tray portion 102. Alternatively, different sealable lids 101 maycover different amounts of the tray portion 102, respectively (e.g.,90/10, 80/20, 70/30, and/or the like). Additionally, different sealablelids 101 may be configured to sealingly cover different compartments ofthe rolling tray 100.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tray portion 102 may include a recessed portion.In other words, a bottom surface of the tray portion 102 may include arecess. Alternatively, the tray portion 102 may include a planar bottomsurface that does not form a recess. It should be understood that myriadtypes of bottom surfaces are applicable to embodiments herein.

The tray portion 102 may include a component, disposed on a bottomsurface of the tray portion 102, that permits a lighter to be removablyattached to the tray portion 102. For example, the tray portion 102 mayinclude a set of substantially L-shaped portions that extend from abottom surface of the tray portion 102, and that collectively permit alighter to be attached to the tray portion 102.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tray portion 102 may include a set ofcompartments. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the tray portion 102 mayinclude a first side compartment 103, a main compartment 104, and asecond side compartment 105.

In some implementations, the tray portion 102 may include any number ofcompartments. Additionally, different compartments of the tray portion102 may include different dimensions and/or different shapes. Forexample, the first side compartment 103, the main compartment 104,and/or the second side compartment 105 may include rectangularcompartments, square compartments, circular compartments, ovalcompartments, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the compartments of the tray portion 102 may beconfigured to hold and/or store various items, such as smokeableingredients, rolling paper, assembled smokeable items, vaporizerdevices, cartridges for vaporizer devices, ash, edible items, and/or thelike.

As shown in FIG. 3, the tray portion 102 may include a top surface, abottom surface, and a set of side surfaces. The top surface may form aperipheral edge that extends from the side surfaces. In other words, thetop surface may be larger than the bottom surface in someimplementations. Alternatively, the top surface and the bottom surfacemay include substantially similar areas. In this case, the side surfacesmay extend vertically from the top surface to the bottom surface, andthe tray portion 102 might not include a substantial peripheral edgesurface.

The sealable lid 101 may connect to the top surface of the tray portion102. In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 may connect to thetray portion 102 via a press-fit, an interference fit, a friction fit,and/or the like. Additionally, or alternatively, the sealable lid 101may connect to the tray portion 102 via a connection mechanism. Forexample, the sealable lid 101 may connect to the tray portion 102 via aset of protrusions, a set of clamps, a set of buttons, and/or the like.

In some implementations, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the sealable lid101 is completely separable from the tray portion 102. Alternatively,the sealable lid 101 may be semi-affixed to the tray portion 102, andconfigured to be displaceable with respect to the tray portion 102. Forexample, the sealable lid 101 may be connected to the tray portion 102via a set of hinges, via a sliding mechanism, via a telescopingmechanism, and/or the like.

In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 may include a component topermit the sealable lid 101 to seal the tray portion 102. For example,the sealable lid 101 may include a silicone liner to permit the sealablelid 101 to sealingly engage the tray portion 102. In otherimplementations, the sealable lid 101 may include a tolerance such thatthe sealable lid 101 forms an effective seal when attached to the trayportion 102.

In some implementations, the sealable lid 101 is configured to sealinglyengage with the tray portion 102 to substantially prevent the dispersionof aroma associated with smokeable ingredients. In other words, thesealable lid 101 might prevent a substantial aroma of the smokeableingredients from dispersing in a vicinity of the rolling tray 100. Inthis way, some implementations herein permit discrete storage ofsmokeable ingredients and/or assembled smokeable items.

The foregoing disclosure provides illustration and description, but isnot intended to be exhaustive or to limit the implementations to theprecise form disclosed. Modifications and variations are possible inlight of the above disclosure or may be acquired from practice of theimplementations.

Even though particular combinations of features are disclosed in thespecification, these combinations are not intended to limit thedisclosure of possible implementations. In fact, many of these featuresmay be combined in ways not specifically disclosed in the specification.
